Vinna is the perfect match for those who want to get stronger faster & build skills for sustainable fitness. I’m excited to run farther & ski harder than ever!
I wish I could take this studio back to NYC with me. The trainers are amazing, I worked with Lani and Cole.

I was looking for a studio while in Minneapolis that could help me increase my strength safety, I’m hyper mobile and watched too many of my friends limp out of a two week cross fit plan. I wanted to build the foundation of strength for the long term and not only did they personalize a great plan for me, give me incredible guidance, but it was also a great relaxing environment (no pretension or faux behaviors), just people getting strong and increasing their mobility to live life without pain and on their own terms.

Lani and her team have been great to work with. I came in with persistent back pain and within a few months the back pain is gone and I feel a lot stronger in my core; exercises are manageable and they do a great job of isolating specific muscles. Great team to work with...
Great personalized routines from experienced trainers
Lani and Cole are amazing trainers! Very focused on the health and well being of every member. They tailor each workout to your specific goals and needs. They’ve helped me work through shoulder and hamstring issues! Small gym with all the equipment. Friendly, and motivating! I look forward to coming each week! Highly recommend!

A welcoming training facility that meets you where you are and is genuinely interested in helping you achieve your health and fitness goals
Coming off of multiple injuries, Vinna has been the perfect place to not only rehab but also to strengthen and improve my physical fitness. Vinna's instructors are super knowledgeable and helpful in finding great workouts and exercises that are perfect for your body and goals.
I'm 4 months into my time with Vinna Fitness and have had such a positive experience. Great variety of exercises, so I never get bored. Low-key, welcoming space.

I'm 4 months into my time with Vinna Fitness and have had such a positive experience. Great variety of exercises, so I never get bored. Low-key, welcoming space. This is my first time doing semi-private training and I really like it - just enough attention to notice need for adjustments in order to prevent injury without the uncomfortable intensity that can happen with private training sessions. Two months in I adopted a 70lb puppy and injured my neck and shoulder. Cole was able to quickly adjust my program so I didn't exasperate the issue, while continuing to strengthen it. Less
I cannot say enough great things about Vinna Fitness! Cole was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He adapted my workouts several times due to my unique and changing needs. He shared lots of information to help me navigate challenges as I travel. Lani and Cole have created a welcoming and friendly environment. I felt right at home!
The expertise, attention to detail, super clean and quality facility are all part of the Vinna experience. Not to mention the results!! Highly recommend.
I’ve had very painful lower back issues for years. After exhausting many treatment options I was close to taking the dreaded surgery step. A friend recommended trying Vinna first. And thank the lord above! Within a month or so of targeted exercises I was back on track. 6 years and counting without single back issue, and I’m still a 2x / week client. Thanks Vinna!
When I started working out at Vinna my lower back and my knees were a mess. I was very tight and in quite a bit of pain. Within just six weeks, both are feeling great again! My balance is improving and my overall strength seems to be improving as well with each passing week. If you are wanting to move better and feel better, head to toe, Vinna is a great place to start.
Vinna and their staff (Lani & Cole) can transform your life. I started mid-January with back, shoulder, and neck issues which led to all sorts of compensations that were also causing discomfort. Now here we are in April and with personally tailored routines I am pain and discomfort free. I am getting stronger and best of all feel like my body is functioning properly!
I was pleased with the assestments which helped create a plan for my specific needs and requests. I was in need of resuming exercising post pandemic and I was nervous about how my body would react with such a long delay. Lani was patient with me and restored my interest.

Everyone at Vinna is super welcoming, both the staff and fellow gym-goers. The professionals at Vinna are supportive and knowledgeable and can provide effective workouts regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. The semi-private training at Vinna also provides a fun and supportive atmosphere/community and the Vinna community feels like family. I am so much more confident in my abilities and would 100% recommend Vinna to anyone looking to take the next step in their fitness journey. Less
Joined here to improve strength and functionality after a back injury. The training philosophy, attention, and tailored exercise routines at Vinna were exactly what I needed to get back to an active lifestyle. Can't recommend this place enough.

Vinna has become my foundation for maintaining an active lifestyle in my 40s. Vinna was recommended to me by my physical therapist after treatment of my latest hockey injury. My goals were to prevent future injury and be able to continue doing activities I enjoy. Going in, I already knew of some mobility issues that were causing pain, but Vinna’s initial assessment identified a few weaknesses that I wasn’t aware of. After just two months of training, I’ve already seen (and felt) noticeable improvements, both in and out of the gym. I like the individually-tailored workouts, which balance mobility, strength, and conditioning, based on my needs and objectives. The semi-private training model provides one-on-one guidance whenever I need it, but also gives me the opportunity to work independently at my own pace. The variety of small-group classes are a great option to add more of whatever you want on a week-by-week basis. Working with Lani and Cole has been great! Besides being well-educated and certified, they are welcoming, kind, personable, and patient. I’ve found Vinna to be well run and a pleasant place to spend time. The gym is kept immaculately clean and organized. The app and on-line portal make scheduling a breeze (you can have your Vinna appointments automatically synced to your phone’s calendar). Parking is right by the door. I highly recommend Vinna if you want to improve the way you feel when you move. Less

When I found Vinna it was a blessing in disguise for me. With my past attitude on working out. Figured I would do 1 month and move on. I really appreciate how they make a personal plan for each individual. Working with Cole has been a delight. He is informative, helpful and kind. I have finally found a workout that seems to be working for me. So grateful for Vinna!

I recently found this wonderful place of refuge, Vinna Fitness. Coming off the pandemic, especially as an educator, my mental and physical health wasn't where I wanted it to be. When I looked in the mirror, I found I didn't recognize myself physically or mentally, and I knew I needed a change, but wasn't sure how to find the time or space to work on myself. After some research, I found Vinna Fitness. As a former football player who spent a lot of time in the gym, it has been so refreshing to find a place to rehabilitate my athletic injuries, as well as strengthen my body and mind as well. Fast forward to today, after finding this facility and working with Lani. Through her personalized approach, Lani has an incredible skill of listening in order to design a program for me that has truly helped me move forward to the person I want to be, both physically and mentally. Through sitting down and listening to my needs and goals, Lani shifted my thinking and moved me away from a pounding of weights to a personalized workout that has helped me strengthen my core and key areas of my body. Not only do I feel better physically, my social and emotional well-being has improved significantly. Through her help, I have come to realize that my needs at 50 are much different than they were as a 20 year old athlete. Lani has taken the time not only to rehabilitate old athletic injuries, but also strengthen my body and mind to help move me forward into the next chapter of who I want to be both physically and mentally. I can't thank Lani enough for giving me a place to go to strengthen my entire well-being. I highly encourage people to seek out this facility to meet your own physical and mental goals and needs.

Lani and staff do a great job customizing the program for each client. The process is excellent as are the results. Each individual has different needs as a result different workouts that change and evolve each month.
I love Vinna! I walked in with a devastating hamstring injury. After working with their amazing trainers, this winter I am skiing with no fear and extra confidence. I am stronger, slimmer and better mobility. Have I mentioned the community? The people are the best and keep me accountable to showing up!
I have been a client of Vinna for almost three years and the improvement of my strength, flexibility, and motion is incredible. I started my program after having three back surgeries and struggling to do the simplest things. I am now moving and feeling better than I ever thought I could! I give 100% of the credit to Vinna and forever grateful.
Great place for personal training that is all about functional fitness. My range of motion and general strength has improved greatly. The atmosphere is very supportive and even fun! Lots of options beyond personal training as well including classes and open gym.
Been going to Vinna fitness now for a month and haven't had to go to the chiropractor since I started! Enjoy the atmosphere and working with Lani and Cole!
I was suffering from sore hamstrings for a couple of years and nothing seemed to help. Shortly after I started working out at Vinna, that pain disappeared! I really like the variety and purpose of the exercises.
Highly Recommended. I have been training here for 2 months and I really enjoy the facility and the staff.
Tremendous customer service!!
Vinna Fitness is like no other gym I have ever belonged to. Their attention to the details on personal exercise plans is extraordinary. Guiding you with posture to be sure you are getting the most out of your workout and caring about each member beyond the direct exercise they are there to provide. Kudos Team Vinna!!

I have been a VINNA client since 2007 and am now approaching my 80th birthday. Their approach is private and tailored to my desire to stay in shape so I can enjoy time with children and grandchildren plus continue to be active in golf, hunting and around our farm.

Classes are offered throughout the week that supplement and reinforce the individual programs and they are a ton of fun. The other folks that exercise there are a pleasure!

If you’re looking for well designed workouts with a personal touch, this is the place to go. As an aging athlete still competing at the top of my game is important to me, and thanks to the Functional Movement System approach, my body has never felt better and I am able to skate ski just as fast and far as I could 10 years ago. I highly recommend this gym!
The trainers at Vinna are excellent and extremely knowledgeable about the body and how to train to resolve and prevent injuries. They work with each client to create an individualized plan, and update and adapt it as needed.

In the past, going to the gym meant getting on equipment where I copied what I saw others do, or tried to remember what I did years ago, climbing on and pushing myself till I died or got bored, which ever came first. The one-on-one attention with the trainers at Vinna is not only realistic for my age and body type, but they work with me to know when and how to change things up so that I’m working all the different muscle groups equally, as well as challenging myself in increments that are moving me forward. I love that they emphasize being able to move well at any age, being strong in real life situations such as carrying luggage or being prepared to lift up grandkids. The Vinna atmosphere is so welcoming that everyone there seems like family and we cheer each other on, whether you just took your first rowing class or are training for the Tour de France. Whether you like the structure of a daily class or enjoy the challenge of personal achievement, Vinna is the type of gym that you can come and be part of a community that both strengthens you and lifts you up. It’s great!! Less
Great staff members that really knows their craft! Their prescribed workouts improve mobility and strength. After 2+ years, I feel great!
Lani, Jason Dan and Cole are fantastic. Have had troubling back and shoulder issues as an older weekend warrior yet after working with Vinna for the past year have had no issues. Highly recommend them.

The functional movement program I follow at Vinna not only has allowed me to balance well, but it keeps me Fit to Live. I'm able to pick up my 70 pound dog when needed without injuring myself.

Vinna cares, about every human that walks in, period. They provide amazing services to their clients and results that speak volumes.
You will always leave better than you came in. Coaches are conscientious and dedicated professionals that are absolutely working for your progress.
Amazing staff. Engaging workouts. No lines like large gyms
As a chiropractor, I very much recommend Vinna. They do a complex and thorough eval and a great job!
Vinna is an awesome workout! They incorporate HIIT training (ropes, Rowers, ski erg) with strength training. Workout is quick and dirty (45 min in and out). They always incorporate a great workout with glute and core activation. Loved it!!!
Came here for flexibility test for a job and the lady did horrible job explaining the test and didn't tell me I passed or failed was very rude. Found out the next day she failed me because I didn't understand the stupid exercises. Not recommended
I have been with Vinna since July 2015. It is hands down the best gym/community I have ever been part of! All the trainers have their own unique style and work hard to get to know you - they know limitations and suggest alternatives but they also know the perfect approach to motivate you! I would highly recommend Vinna as a great place to achieve your fitness goals whatever they may be.
The best gym out there. The trainers are outstanding. They have me feeling so much better in a month! Join and attend classes. You won't regret it.
They get you feeling young again!!!
